OPP.

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Vehicle tyres

This is under the description of the vehicle, specifically under the paragraph for the tyres:

"7.50 x 16 6PR OPP. 205 R16"

Is this just the tyre code? And if so, is 6PR also part of this code? (should this be the case).

Thanks.

Ray King Aug 6, 2023: Emmanuella is right ... "OPP." is just an abbreviation for "oppure". Two alternative tyres specs are indicated, the first, "7.5 x 16 6PR", indicates 7.5 inch tread width, 16 inch rim diameter and 6 Ply Rating (indicates tyre's load carrying capacity), while the second, "205 R16", indicates 205 mm tread width (slightly wider), 16 inch rim diameter and Radial contruction. The lack of an "R" preceding the rim diameter on the first tyre spec (and a tread width specified in inches) implies crossply tyre construction.
Emmanuella Aug 5, 2023: https://www.alvolante.it/da_sapere/legge-e-burocrazia/pneuma... OPP. might be 'oppure/ in alternativa'.
